A compound filter consists of more than one simple filter. Simple filters are added to the compound filter by dragging the simple filter to the compound filter folder or by creating new simple filters under the compound filter in the filter hierarchy. Compound filters apply only to homogeneous item types. This dialog specifies the properties of a compound filter, including the name, description, and whether to match all or any of the simple filter criteria.
Name

Description
Specifies a phrase or sentence about the filter. The description can be any combination of characters and has no length limit. The description appears as a ToolTip when you point to the filter name in the Filter Manager interface.

Allows you to decide whether items must meet all or only one criterion to pass through the filter.
Match all
Specifies that items matching ALL of the filtering criteria pass through the filter.
